Because that’s a great idea: The Atlanta Hawks’ new developmental team, to get, wait for it . . . wait for it . . . a new stadium!
Everything about this is a bad idea. For starters, the NBA is a joke of an organization, bastardizing a pure game with hip-hop, flash and no substance, and the repeated degradation of a sport enjoyed all across the world. But to swindle taxpayers into creating an arena nobody wants for a D-league team?? Now that’s just some bull shit, if I’ve ever heard it in my life.
The D-league isn’t like minor league baseball; contrary to what the NBA wants people to believe. People end up in the D-league, because they’re simply not good enough to make it into the NBA, and the D-league is more or less a holding cell for mediocre players, with organizations hoping the cream of the crop will rise, into becoming a useful backup player for the big squads.
